According to SHARE (Survey on Healthcare, Aging, and Retirement in Europe), an estimated 37% of the aging population was suffering from at least two chronic diseases in 2017 among EU countries. Furthermore, the rise in disabled people due to the increasing population and accidents is also a significant factor in these devices' growth.

Furthermore, the emergence of advanced assisting devices is due to increased initiatives to escalate technological developments by organizations continuously striving to develop inexpensive devices to expand their customer base. With this, the market is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the people operating in this market during the forecast period.
The expensive nature of toilet and bathroom devices is limiting certain sections of people to avoid the purchase of bathroom assisting devices, which is eventually restricting the growth of the market.
